Pay-as-You-Grow Investment Model
The use of licensing to activate features and ports on the Cisco ASR 901 Series allows service providers to
customize and schedule investments in their networks for a time when network growth and customer demand
justify the investment. Unlike investments in the core and edge, where the physical location of network assets has
minimal impact on their accessibility and usage, the ROI on an access element is heavily influenced by its location
in the network and proximity to customers. With little or any need for service calls, the Cisco ASR 901 Series can
be deployed, and later, features and ports can be activated as demand, growth, or service activation dictate. This
delivers significant investment protection and allows flexible timing for migrating from 1 Gbps to 10 Gbps, deploying
MPLS, TDM, clocking, security services, and boosting service capacity.
“Green” Hardware
Cisco ASR 901 routers help service providers reduce operating costs by optimizing energy efficiency, allowing
cost-effective and responsible resource management. The routers are designed for low power consumption with
Reduction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) compliant, lead-free components. An indirect benefit is a significant
reduction of carbon emissions.
